Development Manifesto - Aura Reservation and Reduced Mana Support Gem Change - Forum

" I used the beta aura calculator, with my 22% from tree and no reduce mana gem I can't run grace/haste/purity...so idk where you get those numbers at...id have to pick up the wheel above ranger to be able to do what I had before...that's why im pissed!!! What I mean is that you could say run 1 defensive or offensive 50% aura and then say a clarity and a herald. You're upset because you're used to the old system, I'm sure there will be jewels where you could bypass the need for the cast/attack speed of haste (yeah move speed will hurt but you can run vaal haste). I'm just saying you'll adjust to the new system since damage is being buffed across the board and thus the need to nerf auras so that the game won't be as much faceroll as it is non-beta.

Im a summoner, so doubtful! I normally would run hatred instead of grace, but I like having the defense...I shoot up from like no avoidance to 32%...and it helps with the minions defense as well. Aura's are really are only defensive/offensive options after minion passives....this change just sucks!!! And those gems will be out of my reach, they already cost a pretty penny...and then leveling and trying to get a corrupt, bah...makes me wanna bang my head into a wall...totally stupid!

A corrupted enlighten will not gain experience. The literal effect of this change is that you require ZERO investment to run two auras and massive investment to run 3 or more - approximately 80% more points than you used to need depending on how close your build runs to a third aura cluster. It's a really badly thought out change, there is no question about it. Even without the enlighten aspect, it means that in the new meta, cluster nodes won't get touched at all in 80% or more of builds. Where you used to be able to put in a moderate investment for a moderate return on auras, you now can't. That option is gone. this certainly appears to be gaining xp Or, it was corrupted with that amount of xp on it.	Posted by Pathological#1188 on May 10, 2015, 10:14:42 PM Quote this Post
" Pathological wrote: Or, it was corrupted with that amount of xp on it. I'll say it again, corruption does not prevent a gem from gaining xp. If it did, vaal skills would never level. Corrupted gems level just fine. So you're just really wrong. You just can't corrupt them for the +1 level, which a lot of people would like to do with enlighten, not to mention he didn't quality enlighten first, which would have given it much better xp, than a corruption and that jewel anyway.

such a stupid change, you guys are nerfing things that don't need nerfing and changing things that don't need changing. this "expansion" is path of idiotic changes....	Posted by cena6665#4300 on May 11, 2015, 1:58:21 AM Quote this Post
So, Enlighten gem doesn't enlighten anymore? To grind or not to grind, that's the question.	Posted by IndoBerlian#6539 on May 11, 2015, 2:03:30 AM Quote this Post
so has everyone forgotten that they have said in the past that people weren't suppose to be able to run tons of auras they were intended to be used in groups .Everyones complaining they cant run 4-5 auras anymore but you were only intended to be able to run 1 or 2 without specific uniques or keystones in the first place.

Yeah some developers need to use the "Enlighten" gem themselves to see this change is horrible. RM is a requirement, ok, lets make another gem that is harder to get and harder to level be the new requirement! Did you guys change dev team... or why are new ideas mostly inferior to the ones devs had at the start of the game? IGN: LessBow	Posted by Schn1tt3r#5216 on May 11, 2015, 2:56:03 AM Quote this Post
as a casual player, this change looks like a good move. I'm hoping it makes more auras available to the average joe without trading or a large time investment yet it leaves the highest tier builds to people with time on their hands like streamers. Seems fair. I'll admit I don't care much about high tier play as I never get there but it seems to me that the highest tier game-play should require a serious time investment. Switching to Enlighten to max out auras - from the responses in this thread (first few pages at least) - seems to achieve that. There has to be a low point where some people stop complaining because it's just not worth it, and I have yet to see it. - Squeakypaw, 2013	Posted by obadonke#0693 on May 11, 2015, 3:08:47 AM Quote this Post
